Am I missing something. Goods are being sold at discount prices, and people are complaining.
Looting at Tesco

No! they're not complaining about the prices but the images of those people fighting each other at the sales. Theres no excuse for that type of behaviour in a civilised society!

You know what, I've still not witnessed one fight...plenty of pushing,shoving,grabbing etc....but as yet not one single fight.
Seems to me that there's a lot of sad individuals of the permanently offended brigade getting there knickers in a twist about something that has no impact on their life whatsoever.

Stick your head in the sand if you wish but the facts speak for them selves. Please explain the following:

I'd be ashamed if I acted like that - even in pursuit of a serious bargain.
There are ways to behave in a civilised society and its not like that.

They were obstructed from grabbing their bargains by a barrage of media camera operators.

They're American? :rofl:
Stopped watching after the first part of the first clip. Since when did Tesco/Asda etc start pricing in dollars??
So, I've still not witnessed any fights nor have I witnessed any looting either (tbf the OP did acknowledge the title being a headline grabber in his post though).
No one's arguing they are well behaved,

Phil, you know full well the discussion was around the unacceptable behaviour of the shoppers in those videos. You replied with one of your standard obtuse comments. I repeat, the issue is not about whether there were bargains but the unacceptable behaviour shown by many of the shoppers.
Do you think their their behaviour was acceptable or not please?

So you didn't even bother to watch the videos through. If you did you would see that it wasn't about America but only made a short comparison.

No, I didn't.
As far as I'm aware the thread is about the behaviour of UK shoppers not about Americans or comparisons with Americans.
You wouldn't be making ill informed judgements of Americans would you?
No one is saying they are well behaved. I think (and I may be wrong here) that some of us are merely pointing out the over reaction to overly zealous shoppers.
They ain't looting, nor (as far as I have witnessed) are they fighting. I've been jostled about more on the old Hampden, the Piggery, Easter Road, Tynecastle terraces to be honest.

I never made any racist comments and I kinda resent any implication that the edit to my post may have that I did tbh.
I merely pointed out that someone may have used a word with possible racist connotations whilst describing shoppers.

We all love a bargain, I just look for mine from the comfort of my own home ................ that's when Google becomes my friend!
What surprises me is some peoples' shock at the behaviour of some of the shoppers.
It's almost as if their behaviour was unexpected, when it wasn't.
What did you expect them to do? Queue in an orderly fashion?

Nobody is suggesting you did, however you included a quote from another member that is what was edited.
